Missed my first conference talk recap?
Still can’t believe how much I learned—from battling nerves to loving the “speaker’s high.”
Top lessons:
✅ Prep is key
✅ Growth happens outside your comfort zone
✅ Best convos happen off stage

🎤 Just gave my first public keynote at #DevDaysEurope: "Readable Code: The Secret to Clean, Productive Software"!

Covered what readability really means, why it matters, metrics, AI’s impact, and practical ways to improve codebases.

#ReadableCode #SoftwareEngineering #DeveloperExperience

🎤 Just gave my first conference talk at #DevDaysEurope—overseas, on a movie theater stage, in front of ~300 engineers.
Nerves, jet lag, and adrenaline were real, but so was the “speaker’s high.”
Biggest takeaway? Preparation matters, but the best moments happen in the hallway track.
Would I do it again? 100%.

The New Angular: Maximizing Performance and Productivity

Angular has undergone significant modifications in recent times. Notably, the introduction of the new control flow syntax, standalone components, signals, and the new approach of server-side rendering has fundamentally changed the approach to developing new Angular applications. This presentation features Christian Liebel, a Google Developer Expert in Angular and Web Technologies from Thinktecture, who draws insights from extensive project experience to guide you through the process of transitioning to “the new Angular.“ Join Christian for a pragmatic discussion on adapting to these updates and their practical implications for your projects.
